8:00am – Board train bound for Amsterdam and a day of work.

8:01am – Sudden realization that during morning rush phone was left on bed side table. Farther audio communication with girlfriend is rendered impossible. Problem for-seen since all unknown ‘when and where’ details of evening dinner plans are known by girlfriend.

9:20am – Arrive in Amsterdam. Disembark from train.

9:23am – Attempt to pump-up semi flat front tire on bike. Valve comes off in hand resulting in fully flat front tire on bike and long walk to the office with useless bike.

9:52am – Arrive in office and leave useless bike along with useless flat tire in the basement.

10:15am – Move all personal belongings and work equipment from old room into new room in the office.

12:54pm – Buy new valves and fix useless bike to make it useful again.

8:36pm – Push button labeled ‘clean’ on the technologically enhanced toilet to start its self cleaning procedure. Quickly discover that the button labeled ‘clean’ is intended for the ‘cleaning’ of the user upon the seat as a high pressure stream of water suddenly and unexpectedly leaps from the back of the bole and intersects with my person.
